I was friends of Charles & his first wife when their children were small. Knew Paul Holland and his wife and his parents also, many years ago... Not many of us old timers left, but as I read the Obit, I see that the Holland family will be around for years. Prayers for comfort and peace for all.

Roena was always such fun to be with. When we were young, my brother & I, she would walk with us downtown, as mother would not let us go by ourselves. It was not uncommon for us to have an ice cream cone while on this journey. Such fond memories I have of this special person in my life. Hugs to the family, cherish your memories.
